Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 71.132, dated November 19, 1867.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE S. CALDWELL, of Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Harness-Rosette; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of my invention, and Fig. 2 is a central section of the same.

' Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invention consists in casting a hollow glass rosette, and lining it inside with goldleafl or other metallic lining, or coating the inside with paint, theglass thereby protecting the paint or metallic lining, so that it cannot get scratched orv soiled and always remains bright and fresh the glass shell, with its inside lining, making a neat and vhighly ornamental article of rosette at a very moderate cost, as hereinafter explained.

In the accompanying drawings, A is a hollow glass rosette or form, lined with gold-leaf or any suitable coloring material c c, and fastened on a disk, B, of glazed leather. f is a ribbon pendant. The whole is secured to the headstall g', Fig. 2, in a detachable manner, by a cord, c, which is passed through an eye in the button D, and through a hole in the apex of the rosette A, and is then tied or secured inside of the side strap g of the headstall,v

thus binding all the parts together, as seen in Fig. 2. If the pendants f become soiled or discolored they are readily replaced at any time by removing the rosette from the headstall.

The rosette may be made of stained glass instead of painting it inside. However, I prefer the latter method, as a portion of clear glass outside of the coloring adds to the effect.

By this construction of rosette the metallic lining or coloring material c c cannot become scratched or worn, but in use retains its full luster and freshness.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isy v A glass rosette, A, provided with an ornamental lining Or backing, c c, and secured to the plate B from the button D, substantially in the manner and for the purpose set forth.

The above specification ot' my invention signed by me this 13th day of August, 1867.
